Just days after his shocking release, Joey Leone was approached by none other than Saturday Nights Main Event's Dirt Sheet writer, Blake Deshazo. Deshazo has said to have had a long conversation with the former Star, and has released this official quote, from the man himself.
"Don't play stupid. I know why, you know why, hell, the entire world knows why I was released. When I got on the mic at Night of Glory, I spoke the truth. And Shawn Michaels knows that. When he told me to stop my shit, and I continued to speak the truth, I was fired. But don't worry. Joey Leone WILL be back. And when I do return, the ENTIRE roster...will suffer at my hands. I'm a man of my word."
